Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After Secretary Gao and Director Yang expressed their support for He Yuzhu's promotion of safety production at the Red Star Steel Mill, the Red Star Steel Mill first held a meeting of middle and senior cadres. The meeting was chaired by Secretary Gao, and Director Yang read out the safety production regulations drafted by He Yuzhu at the meeting. After reading it out, Director Yang said: "All departments must attach importance to safety production and actively cooperate in the implementation of safety production regulations. For departments that are not active in implementing safety production regulations, Secretary Gao and I will personally talk to you. Now I announce the official establishment of the Red Star Steel Mill Safety Production Group, with Secretary Gao as the group leader, me as the deputy group leader, and three deputy factory directors as group members. Deputy Factory Director He and the other two factory directors are responsible for the implementation of safety production regulations in their respective areas of responsibility."

After the meeting, He Yuzhu immediately promoted the policy in the steelmaking workshop and machinery manufacturing plant under his charge. Although He Yuzhu had already started promoting the safety production regulations at work before, he did not get the endorsement and approval from the factory. It was all enforced by his own prestige. After this meeting, he could implement it openly.

As the construction of the blast furnace was nearing completion, He Yuzhu's prestige in the Red Star Steel Mill became increasingly high. In fact, since the establishment of the machinery manufacturing plant, he has been the first of the three deputy factory directors. However, the scale of the machinery manufacturing plant is still a bit small compared to that of the Red Star Steel Mill. But things will be different after the construction of the three blast furnaces is completed. By then, two-thirds of the workers in the entire Red Star Steel Mill will be under his management.

However, these things had no impact on the other two deputy factory directors. Ever since Director Yang secured the position of director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, the two deputy factory directors were completely laid low. After all, if they were competing with Director Yang, the two deputy factory directors still felt that they could give it a try, but if they were competing with He Yuzhu, the two deputy factory directors had no idea at all. They and He Yuzhu were not opponents of the same level at all, so it was better for them to just lie low.

He Yuzhu believes that as long as the safety production system is implemented in place, Jia Xudong would not have died young due to an accident. But who would have known that he made such a big fuss just to change Jia Xudong's fate? Only by continuously strengthening the safety production training of employees can the safety production awareness of all workers be improved. Over time, all workers will have a sense of safety production in their hearts during production, which can be said to be truly effective.

Just when Red Star Steel Mill was promoting safety production, Lou Bancheng’s order for 10 trucks and 2 off-road vehicles from Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant through the Ministry of Foreign Trade’s Hong Kong Office finally reached Red Star Steel Mill. Although it was only a small order, it was of great significance to Red Star Steel Mill, as it was the first order from abroad. Although strictly speaking, it was an order from Red Star Machinery Plant, a subsidiary of Red Star Steel Mill, it did not affect the publicity of the entire Red Star Steel Mill.

Because the superiors attached great importance to Lou Bancheng's order, they directly postponed the orders of other departments and gave priority to the delivery of Lou Bancheng's order. The Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant completed the delivery of Lou Bancheng's order in just one day. The Ministry of Foreign Trade immediately arranged for personnel to drive away the trucks and off-road vehicles ordered by Lou Bancheng, intending to transport the trucks and off-road vehicles to Lingnan Province by train first, and then deliver them to Lou Bancheng by land transportation.

Because of the order from Lou Bancheng, Minister Wu of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry specially called He Yuzhu. Minister Wu smiled and said on the phone: "Xiao He, I didn't expect your father-in-law to be so quick. He has placed such a large order in just over a month since arriving in Hong Kong."

"Minister Wu, this is really beyond my expectation! You attach so much importance to this matter that you actually called me personally. To be honest, I always thought that this order from my father-in-law was quite ordinary and not a big deal at all, but I never expected it to attract so much attention from you." He Yuzhu responded modestly.

Minister Wu raised his lips slightly, and asked with a hint of smile: "Xiao He, you sound really arrogant! An order worth tens of thousands of dollars is insignificant in your eyes. So, in your opinion, what size of order can be called a big order?"

He Yuzhu stood up straight, his face full of confidence, and answered without hesitation on the phone: "For me, the so-called big order must be worth at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it must allow our factory to continue production for several days or even half a month. In contrast, this order can be completed in just one day. It is really not challenging!"

Minister Wu couldn't help but laugh at He Yuzhu's bold words. He shook his head and said, "I didn't expect it, Xiao He. Although you are young, you are so arrogant! Okay, I'll wait and see. I look forward to seeing your father-in-law place an order for a larger amount."

He Yuzhu looked determined and assured in a sonorous and forceful voice: "Please rest assured, Minister Wu. Perhaps in a few decades, by then, let alone a few hundred thousand dollars, even tens of millions of dollars would not be worthy of my attention!" It was as if he was full of endless confidence and longing for the future.

"If it's true as you said, Xiao He, that would be great. I look forward to the day you said coming sooner." Minister Wu said with a smile.

He Yuzhu had just hung up the phone with Minister Wu when the phone on the table rang again. He Yuzhu picked up the phone and found that it was Li Ze calling, "Deputy Minister Li, why are you calling too? Do you have anything to tell me?"

"Xiao He, what do you mean I made a phone call too?" Li Ze asked with a smile.

"Minister Wu from the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry just called me, and then your call came in, so I said you called too. What happened today? You big leaders are calling one after another." He Yuzhu hurriedly explained.

"Xiao He, don't you know why we are calling? It's about the export of trucks from your factory. Xiao He, you really surprised me. You gave me such a big surprise without saying anything." He Yuzhu could feel Li Ze's happy tone even when he was on the phone.

"Xiao He, I won't say much else. I hope your factory will take this production seriously and ensure quality. We will make a good start and let foreigners see our country's industrial strength and strive to make greater contributions to exports."

"Please rest assured, Vice Minister Li, our factory will take this order seriously and work with the spirit of bringing glory to the country, and ensure that foreigners can have a good look at our country's cars."
